3D Print – My First Design

The next step for printing 3D objects was to fine some 3D design software that support .STL or .OBJ files. There are a lot of free software available for 3D design. However, I am very warily of “free” software since a lot of “free” software (especially game software) comes with viruses, Trojans, and other nasty things.

Since I use CorelDraw, I decided to look at their recommendations. They recommended developing a 2D design in CorelDraw, transferring it to CAD software, like AutoCAD or Autodesk 123D, then fine tuning it with Corel Technical Suite. Corel Technical Suite is $999. I think not!

I decided since I was a beginner, I would start and learn with Tinkercad. I went through several lessons in Tinkercad to learn the basics. It was very helpful, especially learning to adjust the workspace.

Many years ago, a friend told me I needed to sign all my art works. Most of my cards, houses, paintings now contains this logo. That is want I created first.

Yes, I did make it double sided. If I had though about it before, I would have mirror the image on the reverse side.
